Lasagne. You can make it the night before, stick it in the fridge, and have the nanny put it in the oven (don't preheat the oven-- put the fridge-cold pan in while the oven is cold, to prevent temperature shock) about an hour before you get home. When you get home, take the foil off so the top bubbles, then pull it out and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving. Use this time to make a salad.

Good old midwestern casserole. I know, I know. It's not fancy, and probably not as healthy as we'd all like, but kids love it. I mix a can of mushroom soup with parboiled wild rice and finely chopped broccoli and a handful of shredded cheddar. Throw some milk in to loosen it up. You can put this in the fridge on its own. Then Nanny can pour that mess over raw chicken in smallish pieces-- the supermarket "tenders" are good-- and bake for 45 minutes or so. (I probably wouldn't put the raw chicken in with the casserole glop overnight. Just seems like asking for trouble. Serve with whatever green thing your kids like. The broccoli will have had most of its goodies cooked out. :) [/quote]
